Boo...

I have been scarce again. But this time I bring news. First things first progress on the new house. We have a concrete pad and the skeleton of our future home. The kids' have picked out their bedrooms, I have picked out roof tiles and the stucco color, along with the windows and doors. The next step is to make an appointment at the hardware store to order cabinets and peruse fixtures. A real hardware store not a fancy home improvement warehouse. None of those types around these parts. Things are getting to the decision stage. If too many decisions are thrown at me at once I tend to freeze up and cant make a single one. So I must pace myself like a tortoise "slow and steady wins the race" either that or be the bunny and get blinded by the lights therefore smashed by the truck.

I am gathering up clutter from our current house and hosting a yard sale on Saturday. I loathe yard sales. I would happily throw it all in the back of a truck and take it to goodwill but the last time I did that (when we moved into and were trying to fit into our current abode) they had the above bunny look. They just froze in wonderment. They actually shut down the place for the afternoon because they were overwhelmed. In their defense it is a tiny local thrift store and I sprung it on them with no warning. So I will try to wheedle down the amount before I drop it off approximately 15 minutes after I close down said yard sale. Which reminds me I should probably call and warn them.

Wish me luck.
